Due to the lack of historical record keeping in negro league baseball, some of the scores, standings, and statistics of independent teams are missing or incomplete.
Many early minority baseball teams were able to survive and even profit by barnstorming small towns and playing local semi-pro teams as well as league games. Some early dominant teams did not join a league since they could pull in larger profits independently. Prior to the creation of the Negro National League in 1920, early leagues were specifically structured as minor leagues.
